This production will mark MISSIONARY IN MANHATTAN’s sixth incarnation after successful runs in NYC and Philly. It’s a hilarious ukulele musical that lampoons the institution of marriage through the eyes of 3 sister wives on the hunt for their husband (who was last seen at the Clermont Lounge with his vocal coach named Gerard).

Outdoor Concert at the Nature Center on 6/1
Dunwoody kids in a “Chastain-like” concert on Saturday, June 1 from 7-9 at Dunwoody Nature Center.
They performed in a concert last year at DNC, and it was a huge hit! People brought picnics, chairs and adult beverages, and got to hear some great original music by some local Dunwoody teen musicians!
Note that “Already Taken” features Cindy Wilson’s (from the B-52′s) daughter.
It’s very cool to see local Dunwoody kids using their gifts in such a public format! Hope you can make it!
